| ORIGINAL TO DY. {F R Danby} FROM DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Copy to - HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 3/M14.7.25. Y8260 X5260 X4214 re. BONNET LOUVRES. The louvres on Mr. Royce's bonnet were not approved of. We should like to see a drawing of these louvres as Mr. Royce wishes us to instruct some modifications. Would you kindly send us a print, and would you also send us dimension particulars of the louvres on the Hispano bonnet which we understand are a finer pitch, and the appearance of which we believe is reasonably satisfactory. Mr. Royce wishes his own car to be fitted with the standard shutters, but not with louvres. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} RECEIVED 12 JUL 1925 H.D. | ||
